If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Te Awa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
